Biography

Upon her return to Chile in 2002, von Baer worked as researcher for the political science department at Libertad y Desarrollo, a think tank. She then served as the Academic Director of the School of Government in the Adolfo Ibáñez University, a position which she later abandoned in order to return to LyD as Director of its Social and Political Program. She dedicated her work to research into political systems and electoral studies, and to developing social politics related to poverty and indigenous peoples. She also worked as a legislative advisor, especially in the subject of automatic electoral enrollment and voluntary vote. During the same time, she was a professor at the Faculty of Government at the University for Development and a panelist on a program of Televisión Nacional de Chile, Estado Nacional.[1]

Political career

On 9 February 2010, President Piñera named von Baer as Minister Secretary-General of Government. She took office on 11 March 2010. At the president's request, she resigned in July, 2011. A few days later, she was designated as senator.[2]

In 2011 von Baer was used as an example of someone in the government with family members who have acquired the patents for crops and will benefit from the privatisation of seed.[3]

For the 2013 parliamentary election she first intended run as senator for the same district she was representing -Santiago Oriente. However the Independent Democratic Union (UDI) assigned instead Laurence Golborne as their candidate there.[4] Von Baer was however allowed a slot by UDI to run for Circunscripción Nº 16, Los Ríos Region, where she was actually elected. Her campaign was financed by SOQUIMICH[5] and was actually the parliament election campaign that spent most money per vote obtained in that election in the whole of Chile.[6]
